I remember seeing her at work, in her ‘career woman’ outfit: blazer, trousers, heels and all. I couldn’t find a picture of her wearing all that (too bad there’s no Instagram back then, else there might be a hashtag #FifiWears ?), but there was something about that attire that says she’s a smart, confident, trustworthy, professional woman who knows what she’s doing and where she’s going (she’s all that, but the clothes were just ‘reconfirming’ it). Fascinated, I remember thinking to myself that, “A career woman looks so cool! Someday I wanna look like that! All those clothes, PLUS driving in a red convertible!”

Talking about image, notice that I said, “I wanna LOOK like that”? That’s because as a kid, I only saw what’s projected on the surface. I did not know for sure what it really means to be a career woman (or a self-employed / businesswoman / etc., but whatever the job is:)

That’s what makes it look ‘charming’ to me, even now. Not saying that work attire should always be like that (as a person who work in creative department, I should know this best. Heck, I even work in shorts or pyjamas sometimes ?), but the image just sticks, and so I’m embracing it altogether in this post.
